miralile basis for further effort in behalf of the measure. 

 We would recommend that the committee be continued 

 and enlarged so as to make it representative of a num- 

 ber of other institutions and of wider extent, such com- 

 mittee having power to delegate to a small legislative 

 comtnittee or sub-committee the particular duty of pre- 

 senting the matter in the Assembly, In the mean- 

 time it seems desirable that addititional endorsements, 

 resolutions of societies, and such other support as may 

 be secured, should be brought into shape to use at the 



proper time.
